Class Description

Description

In three relaxed, fun-filled classes, we'll get you on your cooking feet, teaching you how to prepare simple, healthful, delicious food.

You want to make great food in a minimum amount of time but don't have a clue how to go about it. Or you're on your own for the first time and have discovered that eating out is expensive and takeout is tiresome. You need a small repertoire of dishes for daily dining but you can just about manage instant coffee. Sounds like you? Then this is the course to take. We assume you know nothing---absolutely nothing---about cooking and take it from there.

You'll learn about basic cooking equipment and menu planning; knife skills, including vegetable chopping and paring; how to make salad, vinaigrette, and other easy no-cook dishes; how to roast garlic and root vegetables; how to prepare delicious pasta; how to sauté and roast meats and other foods; and how to make desserts in minutes.

You will learn to make three complete meals in three easy lessons,
  1. Guacamole and Chips, Make-Your-Own Taco Bar, and Ice Cream Tiramisu;
  2. Classic Caesar Salad, Roast Cornish Hens with Root Vegetables, and Blueberry Crisp;
  3. Shrimp Cocktail, Garlic Bread; 

including:

  • Pasta with Roasted Red and Yellow Pepper Sauce,
  • Arugula and Radicchio Salad with Apples and Glazed Walnuts,
  • and Chocolate Pudding Cake.

Students enrolling in this MUST attend the first session of the class in order to participate in the rest of the series. If you are unable to attend the first session, please do not enroll.

Note: We serve wine in our classes. It is against our policy for guests to bring in any type of alcoholic beverages.
School Notes:  

Important: If you have registered any guests without a first and last name when booking, please email [email protected] with all guest first and last names so that they can be cleared for security.

Please note that a valid ID is required for entry into ICE's building.

Upon arrival to 225 Liberty Street, proceed to the security desk on the 2nd floor located next to Hudson Eats to check in.

If this is your first time visiting ICE, you may want to leave yourself 30 minutes to find your way to our lobby at 225 Liberty Street.

We will begin checking guests in 15 minutes before the class start time. Please note that classes will enjoy the menu at the end of class. While a snack platter is offered in both morning and evening classes, you may want to consider a light snack before joining us for class. Additionally, for those enrolled in a pastry or knife skills class, a meal is not planned so we recommend bringing a snack. Class menus subject to change.

Refund Policy

CANCELLATION/REFUND POLICY

To register for any class, payment in full is required at the time of registration. Two weeks withdrawal notice is required for a refund (excluding gift certificates); but please note a transaction fee will be deducted from the refund for each and every class seat registration that is canceled by the registrant/student based on the following scale: 

classes up to $125 will incur a $20 fee 

classes in the $126-$350 range will have a $30 fee

classes valued over $351 will incur a $50 fee.

When a class is dropped 3-13 days prior to the start date, only school class credit will be issued, and the corresponding transaction fee will be deducted (see above).

Rescheduling a class still entails a cancellation and, therefore, a transaction fee will still be charged to customers.

There are no refunds or school credit issued when fewer than 48-hour notice from the class start date is given.

Students must attend the first class in a series. Students may make up missed classes in any Techniques series or Wine Essentials course without charge after attending the first lesson. Techniques make-up classes are available on a limited basis and must be arranged with ICE’s Guest Relations Manager. All make-up classes are subject to availability. Missed make-up classes cannot be rescheduled.

Gift certificates are not refundable, but may be transferred to another person.

Cancellation and Other Policies

The Institute of Culinary Education reserves the right to cancel any class that fails to attract sufficient enrollment. In case of cancellation, all students will be notified and a full refund will be given. Students traveling to ICE from outside the New York metropolitan area should confirm their class registration(s) before finalizing travel arrangements. In order to minimize class interruptions, ICE maintains the right to deny student registration and/or entrance if more than 10 minutes late.

In any event where a customer wants to cancel their enrollment and is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.
